Low & Slow Pork Verde image

My family loves this versatile pork dish. We like to have it over a serving of cheesy grits, but it also goes well with rice or potatoes. Leftovers make an excellent starter for white chili. -Val Ruble, Ava, Missouri

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pork, but I'm so glad I did! The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the verde sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork turned out great! The verde sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I can adjust the amount of peppers next time. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe.
